Mandy Moore Revealed Exactly When We'll Find Out About Jack's Death on 'This Is Us'

Hands down, the biggest questions fans have going into This Is Us season two are about Jack's (Milo Ventimiglia) death. How did he die? When did he die? The Pearson family patriarch's demise has been the subject of countless Reddit theories, but we don't know anything concrete yet. The This Is Us cast has remained tight-lipped about the whole mystery, urging fans to instead focus on how Jack lived.

But Mandy Moore (who plays Rebecca, Jack's wife, on This Is Us) just dropped a major detail about Jack's death. No, she didn't disclose his cause of death, but she did say when fans will find out about it.

Moore also said the Pearson kids are in their late teens when Jack dies, but that's something we learned in an episode from season one. (Remember that gut-wrenching funeral flashback?) “You’ve seen the kids now [in the show], they’re about 16 or 17 when [Jack] passed away," she said.

Interestingly, the entire cast has known Jack's cause of death for a while.

“We all had to know,” Moore said. “If you think about it, all of the core actors sort of had to know because we see him later, but something that fundamentally earth-shattering and life-changing that happened to the kids at some point in their lives is something they’re going to carry with them as adults.”

This news further confirms that season two of This Is Us will be excellent. Think about it: Jack's death is the buzziest mystery in the This Is Us universe right now. If this gets cleared up during episode one, that means even more explosive twists, turns, and tears are in store.
